White Bean Salad

There are many familiar, big flavors in this simple white bean salad. It doesn’t need anything else – just be sure that you use a really good-quality olive oil accompanied with a great-quality creamy feta cheese.

Chef Tips:

• Always slice or chop fresh herbs just before serving. This is especially important with basil which tends to darken once sliced or torn.
• In case you didn’t know this, neither tomato nor basil should be refrigerated: they must be stored in your pantry at room temperature.
